Aggregate Material Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the quantity of aggregate material needed for your construction or landscaping project. Aggregate is a broad category of granular materials used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, and recycled concrete. It's a fundamental component in the production of concrete, asphalt, and road construction, as well as for drainage and decorative purposes.
Calculate
function calculateAggregate() {
var length = parseFloat(document.getElementById("length").value);
var width = parseFloat(document.getElementById("width").value);
var depth = parseFloat(document.getElementById("depth").value);
var density = parseFloat(document.getElementById("density").value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
resultDiv.innerHTML = ""; // Clear previous results
if (isNaN(length) || isNaN(width) || isNaN(depth) || isNaN(density) || length <= 0 || width <= 0 || depth <= 0 || density <= 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter valid positive numbers for all fields.";
return;
}
var volume = length * width * depth;
var weight = volume * density;
// Common aggregate densities for reference (can be added to the explanation)
// Sand: ~1500-1700 kg/m³
// Gravel: ~1600-1800 kg/m³
// Crushed Stone: ~1500-1700 kg/m³
resultDiv.innerHTML =
"
Volume: " + volume.toFixed(2) + " cubic meters (m³)" +
"
Estimated Weight: " + weight.toFixed(2) + " kg";
